History 
Our Wheatley Hill Pharmacy has been at this address since it was opened in 1952. The first Pharmacist/Manager, Mr. Bill Mowbray, lived above the premises until 1953 when he moved to a Company owned house in Wingate (which he purchased in 1973). The original dispensary was located in the kitchen of the house that was bought in 1952. Within a few years, the whole property was extensively modified beyond recognition.
